Monitoring instances

The Wazuh agent is cross-platform compatible, meaning it can run on various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, BSD, and macOS. It collects data on different systems and applications and ensures the instance benefits from other Wazuh capabilities, such as File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) and Security Configuration Assessment (SCA). This data is sent to the Wazuh server through an encrypted and authenticated channel. A unique pre-shared key registration process establishes this secure channel.

You can install the Wazuh agent on the virtual machines in your Microsoft Azure environment. Monitoring cloud virtual machines using the Wazuh agent is beneficial because it ensures comprehensive security and performance oversight, enabling early detection of potential threats and operational issues in dynamic cloud environments.
